I am thankful for this body of mine. I haven’t been very good to it over the last decade, I don’t give it enough exercise and I feed it too much crap. Still, it has been forgiving of me.

I want to be 16 again. Well, not the emotional, hormonal, no self-esteem part of 16; but, the physical part. When I was 16, I could run as long as I wanted (not that I ever wanted to, because I hate running). When I was 16, I could sit on the floor and hop back…
Hanging out with Nicholas the other night before bed he asked me, “Mommy? How will I find the person I need to marry?” Me: Well, there are a lot of ways to meet the person you would like to marry. N: But how will I know they are the right person? Never mind, I think…
So I have all these things I want to write about…but nothing comes. I have five or six posts started, things I want to chat about or am angsty about or think are funny; but, something stops me from finishing them or hitting publish. There are other things I’m finding myself postponing or avoiding. Nothing…
